Lincoln
§ This page provides an overview of a UK's local authority district, bringing together various information to help you better understand this district.
Lincoln district is centred on the historic city of Lincoln, dominated by its magnificent cathedral and medieval castle. Perched on a hill, the city overlooks the River Witham and the flat Lincolnshire countryside. The cobbled streets of the historic quarter, such as Steep Hill, lead down to a vibrant modern centre with shops, cafes, and waterways. The University of Lincoln adds a youthful atmosphere, while Roman remains, medieval architecture, and the Brayford Pool marina create a blend of heritage and contemporary living. The city is both a historic landmark and a thriving hub in the East Midlands.
The local authority for this district is: Lincoln City Council - responsible for district-level services. Since Lincolnshire is a two-tier area, county-level services are handled by: Lincolnshire County Council.
